[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a game device according to the present invention. This game device 1 has a prize sample display rack 2 covered with glass. Up to 14 premium samples 4 (see FIG. 2) can be displayed on the premium sample display shelf 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a hook 3 is attached to the backboard 2a of the premium sample display shelf 2 so as to correspond to the display portion of each premium sample 4, and the premium can be hung on a key chain or the like. If it is one, the prize sample can be hung on the hook 3. Further, a lamp 40a that constitutes the first lamp blinking means 40 is provided below the display portion of each prize sample 4. These lamps 40a are connected to the LSI 30 (FIG. 4). Then, the lamp 40a is blinked according to the program of the LSI 30 in the roulette mode. Specifically, in FIG. 1, the upper and lower lamps 40a of FIG. 1 are blinked clockwise, counterclockwise, or irregularly. The LSI 30 in this case constitutes a lamp blinking control means.

A coin slot 5 is provided on the right front side of the game apparatus 1. Money or play coins can be inserted into the coin slot 5. A return lever 6 is provided below the coin insertion slot 5. This return lever 6 is operated when it is desired to return the inserted coin, such as when the coin is inserted by mistake. By operating the return lever 6, the inserted coin is returned to the coin return port 7 on the lower side thereof. Further, the game device 1 is provided with a coin selector 8 (FIG. 4), and the coin selector 8 determines the authenticity of the inserted coin, and when the inserted coin is determined to be false, the inserted coin is returned. Returned to mouth 7. On the other hand, when it is determined that the inserted coin is true, the signal is sent to the LSI 30 and the game is started. The coin selector 8 in this case may have a structure capable of mechanically determining the authenticity of the inserted coin, or may have a structure capable of electrically or optically determining the authenticity of the inserted coin. It may be.

Further, a rectangular prize outlet 9 is provided on the lower front side of the game apparatus 1, and the prize 50 (FIG. 5) paid out from the prize outlet 9 can be taken out. .

On the front surface of the game apparatus 1, a total of nine game buttons (game operators) 10 are arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns. A lamp (not shown) forming the second ramp blinking means 11 (FIG. 4) is provided on the back side of each game button 10. The lamp of the game button 10 is connected to the LSI 30. Then, this lamp is blinked for a predetermined time according to the program of the LSI 30 in the game mode. Specifically, when the game is started, this lamp is flickered randomly according to the program of the LSI 30 for each set of three game buttons 10 which are vertical, horizontal and diagonal. In this sense, the LSI 30 constitutes a lamp blinking control means. Furthermore, a speaker 12a that constitutes the sound output means 12 is installed at the lower left of this game button group, while a stop button (stop operator) 13 is provided at the upper right of the game button group. There is. Here, the game button 10 is used in the game mode, while the stop button 13 is used in the roulette mode.

Next, the inside of the game device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows a state in which the door 1a of the game apparatus 1 is opened.

The box body of the game apparatus 1 is provided with 14 columns 14 a to 14 n in total. In each column, a prize 50 corresponding to the prize sample 4 displayed in each display section is stored in a superimposed state (see FIG. 5). Further, a stopper 15 for holding the prize 50 from the front side is provided at the bottom of each column. In addition, a column spring 61 for holding the prize 50 from the front side is provided in front of each column. A predetermined gap is formed between the stopper 15 and the bottom surface of each column, and the prize 50 is paid out from this gap. The payout of the prize 50 in this case is performed by the prize payout means 16. The prize payout means 16 includes an ejector 16a for pressing the prize 50. The ejector 16a is adapted to project into and retract from the rear panel of each column, and pays out the prize 50 when protruding from the rear panel. The operation of the ejector 16a is controlled by the LSI 30.

Further, on the back side of the door 1b, as shown in FIG. 3, a shooter 17 narrowing downward is attached. Further, another shooter 18 is attached below the shooter 17. The shooter 18 also has an intermediate portion narrowed downward. Here, the shooter 17 is used to receive the prize 50 from the columns 14a to 14f, and the prize 50 paid out to the shooter 17 is guided to another shooter 18 via the shooter 17. The other shooter 18 receives the prize 50 from the shooter 17 and the prizes 50 of the columns 14g to 14n, and guides these prizes 50 to the prize outlet 9. A prize payout detecting means 20 is provided in the narrowed portion of the other shooter 18. Specifically, the prize payout detecting means 20 is composed of a light emitting element 20a and a light receiving element 20b. Then, the light receiving element 20b detects that the light from the light emitting element 20a is blocked by the prize 50, thereby detecting that the prize 50 has been paid out. The prize payout detecting means 20 also serves as a fraud detecting means. That is, when a hand or the like is inserted through the prize outlet, the insertion of the hand or the like is detected. The signal of the prize payout detecting means 20 is sent to the LSI 30, and a predetermined sound is emitted according to the situation.

Note that FIG. 4 shows a circuit configuration of the game apparatus 1 in a block diagram.

Next, the operation of the game apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. First, when a true coin is inserted into the coin insertion slot 5, the game starts. In this game, when the game is started, the LSI 30 randomly selects one of the nine game buttons 10 out of order. The player wins when the player can selectively press eight out of nine game buttons 10 without pressing the out-of-game button 10. When the game is started, the lamps on the back side of the game buttons 10 are blinked irregularly and sequentially for each set of three game buttons 10 which are vertical, horizontal and diagonal. This blinking occurs for a fixed time. At this time, the game apparatus 1 gives a hint from the speaker 12a. For example, a voice such as "The button that is turned on last is dangerous." Is emitted from the speaker 11. Therefore, the player presses the eight game buttons 10 in order while avoiding the out-of-game buttons 10. If the player presses the missed game button 10 on the way, the game ends there. The end of the game is notified to the player by voice or the like. On the other hand, if the player can press the eight game buttons 10 while avoiding the out-of-game button 10, the player's win is known to the player by voice or the like. Then, the game device 1 shifts from the game mode to the roulette mode according to the program of the LSI 30. When shifting to the roulette mode, the upper and lower lamps 40a are sequentially blinked. Here, when the player presses the stop button 13 to aim for the prize he / she wants, the lamp 40a stops blinking. The prize 50 corresponding to the prize sample 4 at the last-lit lamp 40a is paid out to the prize outlet 9. Such a cycle is repeated according to the number of coins inserted. Although the payout of the prize 50 is detected by the prize payout detecting means 20, if the prize 50 is not paid out to the prize outlet 9 within a predetermined time, a command from the LSI 30 causes the speaker 12a to indicate "the person in the store". Please call. "Is issued. In addition, when the player inserts his / her hand into the inside of the prize outlet 9 except when the prize 50 is not paid out, the prize payout detection means 20 detects it and a predetermined warning sound is emitted from the speaker 12a. To be

Although the embodiment of the game apparatus 1 according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Needless to say.
